I suggest you check out thoroughly the benefits of this easy grease axle. I lost a wheel bearing which is no fun on the road. A knowledgeable (I believe) mechanic told me that pumping grease in that axle end zerk will lub the front bearing but it will be a frosty Friday before that grease makes it's way to the rear bearing. He suggested that one would need to fill the spindle cavity with grease and then one could easily push out the rear grease seal. To each his own but ......

The grease has to go thru the bearing. Your mechanic may be thinking of bearing buddies which aren't so great. But EZ lube is awesome. I been using them since 1995 and have never pulled a hub. Displace all the grease every year while rotating the wheel and check for end play.

Seems like there was some confusion at Forest River as to what type of axles were suppose to be on my TT. Customer Service says they are suppose to be Lippert Ultra Lube axles, while the Warranty department says they are suppose to be Dexter standard axles.

Had the dealer look at the axles on my TT and Dexter's it is.

"Mr. Smith
Apparently, the Ultra Lube/EZ-lube axles were a standard feature when the literature was first made and late in the production year they made a change to the standard features for the remaining part of the production year. With this in mind I cannot offer a change in the axles for they are no longer used."

So, it looks like they are now just using the standard Dexter axle. One of the selling points of me buying the TT was the Ultra Lube/EZ-Lube type axles. Guess I can take back the tubes of grease I bought to fill up the space in the spindles.

You're better off with Dexter axles over anything Lippert makes. Worse case scenario is you pull wheels once a year and fresh pack the bearings. At the same time inspect brake shoes, drums, and magnets. Don't feel bad, the ez-lubes are over rated and many times end up with blown out grease seals and ruined brake shoes.
Enjoy what you have and camp.

I learned the difference the hard way. Had a bearing failure on a long trip because I believed Buddy Bearings were doing the job. We have the EZ-Lube now and glad for it. There are some great videos on youtube that show why they work differently.
